Weapon 🔪 Battle Rifle ⚡ Foreign Design 📦

The Sieg Automatic Rifle is an American prototype automatic rifle that is designed by James E. Sieg of the US Coast Guard in 1946. It is chambered for the .30-06 Springfield cartridge and uses a 20-round detachable box magazine. The design has a bullpup layout, a gas-operated tilting bolt action, a two-finger double trigger, an extremely efficient muzzle compensator that can double as a grenade launcher (so much so that the Sieg can be shot with one hand) and a bayonet mount. It can fire in semi-automatic or fully automatic mode. Though interest in the project was lost by the US Armed Forces, mercenaries across Australia funded James E. Sieg's project. He eventually moved to western Oceanyka and opened up a small factory to produce his rifles.

Abilities

Common Attributes - Mechanical

Auto

This weapon is fully automatic, either inherently so or by the presence of a selective-fire mechanism.

EFFECT:
This weapon can fire more than one shot each time it is used. Each subsequent shot has a progressive penalty.
Automatic weapons are considered STABLE when they're mounted on a vehicle, tripod or turret. This is different from the Stabilised SA.

  • Point Blank Range - No penalty.
  • Close Range (≤10m / 2sq) -> -1
  • Short Range (≤50m / 5sq) -> -2 (STABLE: -1)
  • Average Range (≤200m / 10sq) -> -3 (STABLE: -1)
  • Medium Range (≤500m / 20sq) -> -5 (STABLE: -1)
  • Long Range (≤1000m / 50sq) -> -5 (STABLE: -3)

         ~ Beyond this point, automatic fire is unfeasible without a STABLE firing platform. ~

  • Very Long Range (≤2000m) -> (STABLE: -3)
  • Extreme Range (>2000m) -> (STABLE: -5)

Common Attributes - National

Superior Firepower - American Small Arms (WW2)

American infantry in World War II, thanks to their nation's unrivalled logistical capacity, could bring to bear unmatched firepower against Comintern troops which were largely equipped with old bolt-action rifles and had sparse organic fire support.

EFFECT:
This weapon enjoys an Easy DM to its Suppressive Fire (2 AP) rolls.
